27. UP) A statement by the international committee for the study of European questions to the effect that few Germans were responding to Democracy was labelled a "prematurely drawn conclusion" yesterday by Lt. Gen. Lucuis D. Clay, deputy U.

S. military governor. Clay said the process of conversion "would take a great many years." "We never claimed it could be done quickly," said "All that one can fairly do now is to assess our success in approximately two years and therefrom attempt to gauge our chances of success over the long pull." The committee which consists of British, French, Belgian, Dutch and Danish leaders asserted that dormant nazi organizations were being revived and were maneuvering to "capture control of Democratic organizations."

nr Republicans aimed today at a minimum 10 per cent slice in President Truman's $37,500,000,000 budget. Chairman Bridges (R-NH) of the senate appropriations committee said a study of the financial situation has convinced him and nthor noftv loonorc that tno con a it-iiuuoc v-vyiiiiiii iitc vixen. mui making expenses meet income will have to fix an arbitrary limit for expenditures. This should be at least 10 per cent below the president's figure, the New Hampshire senator told a reporter. The joint committee gets down to worw tomorrow as part of a week's schedule that includes ex-1 pec-ted house passage Wednesday of a measure extending the wartime excise taxes.

These otherwise would be wiped out July 1 under President Truman's proclamation ending hostilities. The president himself asked for the excise tax legislation and thus appears likely to have one of his major requests granted swiftly by the Republican congress. Senate hearings on Mr. Truman's nominations for atomic commis sion members, beginning today, will share attention tomorrow w'th Secretary of Labor Schwel-lenbach's appearance before the labor committee on industrial disputes legislation. The same day, a commerce subcommittee has called for testimony on commercial air safety regulations.

The budget question, however, continued to provide the possibility of a major controversy between congressional Democrats and Republicans, with some administra-lion supporters ready to resist any sizeable cuts in the president's recommendations.

The treasury already has announced that tax refunds will be in order if employers are required to pay for time previously spent by workers in getting ready to carry out their daily tasks. Bridges said this might increase the approximately $2,000,000,000 allowed by the president in his budget for refunds of all kinds. but Senator George (D-Ga) said he doubts that any appreciable amount will have to be paid.

"These portal-to-portal suits are a tremendous worry to industry," said George, who is a member of the senate-house budget committee and former chairman of the senate finance committee.

Other information, he added, must come from the family. Close relatives visited the funeral home last night but left without revealing any further plans. In Los Angeles, Capone's attorney, Abraham Teitelbaum, said as far as he knew "Al left no will and no money." The lawyer said members of Capone's family had supported him in recent years, and the villa was "mortgaged to the hilt." Federal officials once estimated Capone's fortune at $20,000,000 but, Teitelbaum said, "Al still owed the government money when he died." Capone suffered a stroke at 4 a. m. last Tuesday but rallied and for a time it was believed he might recover.

Pneumonia developed and the end came suddenly. "Scarface Al" Capone will be remembered as the man who set gangsterism up in big business. The former "public enemy No. 1" built a multi-million dollar underworld empire on threats and violence but left it for a jail cell after he was convicted of income tax violation in Chicago in 1932. He was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment but, with time off for good behavior, was released seven years, six months and two weeks later, a broken man.

Capone spent most of the time following his release at his swank estate on Palm Island, Miami Beach, Fla. Federal agents be-, lieved Capone was worth at the time of his conviction. Occasionally there were unofficial reports Capone had visited Chicago, scene of his norotrious career, and his old vacation haunts in northern Wisconsin near Mercer. The most recent of such reports came from James M. Ragen, racing news publisher assassinated last year, who told authorities Capone and his family still controlled Chicago's rackets.

Former Capone associates here ridiculed the charge, one of them stating-publicly, "Capone is nuttier than a fruit cake." The one time boss of a prohibition era bootleg combine with an estimated "take" of $25,000,000 a year was indicted in 1931 for failure to file returns on $1,000,000 of income traced to him for the 1924-29 period. He pleaded guilty, expecting to gA a 2 year sentence but Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson of Chicago said "parties to a criminal case may not stipulate as to the judgment." Capone changed his pleo to innocent, was convicted and sentenced to 11 years and fined $50,000. He entered Atlanta penitentiary May 5, 1932. In 1934 he was transferred to Alcatraz island penitentiary, San Francisco bay, finished out his term at Terminal Island, Los Angeles, and was released to his' family in 1939 at Lewisburg, Pa.

Federal authorities said then he was suffering from paresis, a chronic brain disease causing loss of mental and physical power. Thereafter the sun and the sand of Florida augmented the treatment by his physicians. The federal records said Capone was born in Naples, Italy, Jan. 17, 1899. From a small time hoodlum role in New York, he was brought to Chicago in 1919 by Johnny Tor-rio.

then a lieutenant of 'Big Jim" Colosimo, south side vice czar, subsequently slain in his cafe. Torrio succeeded Colosimo and Capone became Torrio's right-hand man. In 1925 after somebody shot and nearly killed Torrio, the latter fled and Capone took over the rackets, syndicating them. From then on "Scarface Al" Capone was the central figure, the symbol, of probably the most bizarre period of lawlessness in the nation's history the half-decade of beer wars and bullets, machine guns, the "one-way ride" given a gangster by rivals, friendliness between high-ups and hoodlums, corruption of "the with the stupendous profits of bootlegging.

P. M. SCARFACE AL CAPONE seven members of the old George "Bugs" Moran gang were mowed down with machine guns in a north I siae garage. Approximately 2 5 0 gangster death victims, from 1925 to 1930, were described either as friends or enemies of Capone. Finally Capone, the underworld king, big shot gambler, free spender in night clubs and at race tracks, was toppled off his throne by unob strusive, patient federal income tax UL kii Infn Kilt ni nO law" he tlouted.

When Capone took over Torrio's rackets in 1925, he was known for a time as "Scarface Al" Brown, having signed the name "Brown" to an application for a business license. He detested his nickname "Scarface," which came from a jagged mark on the left side of his forehead running down to his cheek. He claimed a world war I wound caused the disfigurement but others said it was a souvenir of his freshman days in the New York City rackets before coming to Chicago.
